Uttoxeter's Adam Peaty won Britain's first medal of the 2016 Rio Olympics by taking gold in the men's 100 metres breaststroke on Sunday.

Just days ahead of his big win the 21 year-old posted this slow motion video of himself. It shows him effortlessly performing a push-up which involved lifting his whole body into mid air and clapping his hands, before landing in a perfect push up position yet again.

Many congratulations to Adam Peaty and Jazz Carlin for winning Team GB's first medals at Rio 2016 this morning.

I hope their success will inspire many more of the UK's world class team to fulfil their potential and bring home a medal, just as all those who are competing for the UK in Rio are an inspiration to many more youngsters back home.

This coming fortnight reminds us all that with the right support, determination and dedication you can get as far as your talents will take you.
The whole country wishes the team good luck and great success. We are proud of you.
